A yellow weather warning issued for Kenilworth earlier this week has been extended with meteorologists warning of possible snow and ice.
The Met Office put the warning in place from 9pm on Monday (March 6) and it now remains in place until 2pm on Friday (March 10).
Forecasters are predicting difficult travel conditions all week with some roads and railways likely to be affected, leading to longer journey times by road, bus and train.
The Met Office has also warned of "injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces" as well as power cuts.
Locally, temperatures are expected to reach -5C overnight with highs of just 5C during the day.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Steven Keates said: "The impactful weather will continue through the second half of the week as mild air meets cold air with further snow, ice, wind and then rain likely later in the week and into the weekend.
"From Wednesday, the focus of further snow is across parts of southern England and south Wales, with snow likely to lower levels for a time, and many may wake up to a couple of centimetres of snow on Wednesday morning.
"Through Thursday and Friday the snow risk spreads to central and northern areas of the UK, though it's not possible to pick out precise locations regarding who will see the heaviest snowfall. With a developing situation, it's important to stay up to date with the latest forecast and further warnings are very likely."
